PaPer recommendations
7. Paper Recommendations
Your printer will handle a variety of print media, including a range of paper weights
and sizes, labels and envelopes. This section provides general advice on choice of
media, and explains how to use each type.
The best performance is obtained when using certified DuraLabel Catalyst Synthetic
Supply or standard 19-24 lb paper designed for use in copiers and laser printers.
Use of heavily embossed or very rough textured paper is not recommended.
Pre-printed stationery can be used, but its ink must be very dry so it will not offset
when exposed to the Catalyst's high fuser temperatures.
ENVELOPES
Envelopes should be free from twist, curl or other deformations.
They should also be of the rectangular ap type, with glue that remains intact
when subjected to hot roll pressure fusing used in this type of printer. Window
envelopes are not suitable.
LABELS
Labels should also be of the type recommended for use in the
DuraLabel Catalyst.
7.1 Cassette Trays
If both trays contain the same size stock, Catalyst will by default pull from Tray 1
(upper tray), then Tray 2 (lower tray) if Tray 1 is empty. It will only pull from the multi-
purpose tray when print settings specify this or if all other trays are empty. You can
adjust these settings if different behavior is desired (see “Printer Features” setting in
the “Advanced Options” section).
7.2 Multi-Purpose Tray
The multi-purpose tray can handle the same sizes as the cassette trays but in
weights up to 60 lb. For very heavy paper stock use the face up (rear) paper stacker.
This ensures that the paper path through the printer is almost straight.
The multi-purpose tray can feed paper widths from 3" to 8.5" and lengths from 5" to
52" (banner printing).
